I think you may be surprised to find some relatively experienced people on this forum, as compared to something like Vault. This is because of the experience requirement for the CFA Charter, or at least it should be. Then again, I don't think there are too many MDs on here either.
Good luck on the Alt Investment Analyst thing. You may also monitor Craigslist from time to time, it is very popular in the Bay Area and the quality of jobs that are posted on it has definitely gone up.
